5 0

$-\dfrac{1}{2}(-4+2x)=-6-4x\ \ \ \ \ |multiply\ both\ sides\ by\ (-2)\\\\-4+2x=12+8x\ \ \ \ |add\ 4\ to\ both\ sides\\\\2x=16+8x\ \ \ \ \ |subtract\ 8x\ from\ both\ sides\\\\-6x=16\ \ \ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ (-6)\\\\x=-\dfrac{16}{6}\\\\x=-\dfrac{8}{3}\\\\\boxed{x=-2\frac{2}{3}}$

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (3, -6) and (6, 12).

Svetradugi [14.3K]

The slope of a line is simply a ratio of the change in y-value to the change in x-value
Change in y = y₂ - y₁
= 12 - (-6) = 18
Change in x = x₂ - x₁
= 6 - 3 = 3
Ratio of change in y to change in x = 18/3 = 6
The slope is 6
